Devlog 1 - BoltRider 0.3.3 is out!



Update 0.3.3:

I was hoping to release an itch.io browser-playable version today with this update, but unfortunately, I cannot seem to get it working yet. In the following weeks, I will be working on five new levels and testing some physics changes.

Also, I will be participating in the Finish Your Project Jam 2024 to reach my goal of finishing 25 levels.

Please feel free to leave any kind of feedback, sugestions, and ideas on the itch.io board or in the BoltRider Discord

Changes & Improvements:

  • Added controller support for navigating menus and gameplay. Login/Register still requires keyboard input.
  • Faster navigation in the start menu. Switching menus no longer reloads every time.
  • Low battery alert: Added sound effects and flashing animation for the battery bar when the battery is below 20%.
  • Added a 5-second restart timer display when the battery is at 0%.
  • Levels are now slightly brighter.
  • Objects toggle feedback: Interactable objects now flash red if they can't be toggled. For example, when the player is in a tunnel and presses the "space" button, the tunnel flashes red to show the player that it can't be activated when the player is in or on an object.


  • Level completed leaderboard: If a player's personal best is in the global top 5, it's no longer shown below. It's only visible when the player is not in the global top 5.
  • "New Best time!" text in Level Completed: When a player achieves a new personal best time but no new medals, the "New Best time!" text will be shown.
  • The game file now has an icon.

Bug Fixes:

  • When achieving a new medal, it's now updated in the UI.

Known Bugs:

  • Game freezing at the start of the level countdown. It may be fixed now, but if it happens, please let me know.
  • Double leaderboard in the Level Complete screen.


Thank You for your support and Have fun!
